Hollywood writers are on strike. Who cares, right? This is a music blog. But when the words "protest" and "walk out" are uttered, Tom Morello comes running like a tingling vagina of a 12 year old who just heard Justin Timberlake is in the mall.

 

Armed with only his acoustic guitar, his superior intellect, and his hatred for democracy, George Bush, and fig newtons, Morello started to play outside of Fox's headquarters on Friday.

 

The impromptu concert pulled about the same numbers his Nightwatchman performances pull, about 3000 people forced to be there. Then instead of playing something the picketers wanted to hear, Rage Against the Machine, he played "Union Song" from the album One Man Revolution by his band The Nightwatchman.

 

The song was appropriate.

 

For our brothers and our sisters

Up and down that picket line

For the unnamed and unnumbered

Who struggle brave and long

For the union men and women

Standing up and standing strong
